VIDEO: Bank worker LAUGHS at would-be robber carrying a meat cleaver

The bank worker in a Chinese bank was going about her business when a man casually strolled up to her counter and displayed a very large meat cleaver.

But rather than panic and ask what he wanted, cashier Rong Ku, 41, turned round to her colleagues, laughing at the sight in front of her.

To be fair, she was behind a bullet-proof glass, meaning the cleaver was not a particularly large threat.

Would-be criminal, 28-year-old De Ke, even stopped to answer his PHONE in the middle of his robbery attempt.

“It was a bizarre situation and I just had to laugh especially when he took a telephone call in the middle of the robbery”

Cashier Rong Ku

Ms Ku said of the incident: "I might have taken it seriously if he'd had a gun, and you never know really if the security glass will stop a bullet, but I knew he had no chance of getting through with a meat cleaver.

"It was a bizarre situation and I just had to laugh especially when he took a telephone call in the middle of the robbery.

"He said 'this is a robbery' in a really quiet voice and then asked me to hold on while he took a phone call."

Ke was soon wrestled to the floor by a brave customer and taken in by police.
